My Life, In Rags



Scott Joplin's Ragtime Dance, performed by BachScholar.

It has been nearly forty years since the Mrs. and I met in college.  Early in our dating, I had her over to the apartment I shared with four roommates.  The first thing she heard from them was "Wait until you hear the kind of music he listens to!"  They were referring to Joshua Rifkin's recordings of rags by Scott Joplin.  That turned out to be a good thing since she liked them, too.  All these years later we are still listening to that music, most recently as performed by the BachScholar on YouTube.
